Everytime I OC CPU and RAM to XMP in BIOS I get "Overclocking failed"?

I just upgraded to 2 new GPU's and RAM. When I tried to overclock my CPU and RAM I get an overclocking failed and press F1 to go back in the bios. Before I had G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 and now I have CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000.

Before I had a very stable overclock with a i7 5930K at 4.5GHZ. I was on:
-XMP DDR4 2800HZ 16-16-16-36 on my G.SKILL RAM
-CPU strap at 125MHz
-BCLK Frequency at 127.3
-CPU Core Ration at Sync all Cores
-1-Core Ratio Limit 35
-Min. CPU Cache Ratio 28
-CPU Core Voltage @1.3V
-CPU Cache Voltage @1.25V
-Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Turbo Mode, CPU C-States all OFF.

This Overclocked worked very, very well and was completely stable, never crashed at all for 1 year straight, my RAM was at 2800HZ and CPU at 4.5GHz.

Now when I try to do the same exact thing with the new RAM all that changes is my BCLK Frequency, which changed to 125.0 with my timing of course for my new Corsair RAM, which is 15-17-17-35. I only had those two things change and when I try to OC my PC, my PC of course restarts and when booting after the BOOT logo I get "Overclocking failed, press F1 to run setup!".

I'm not sure what to do and how to fix this do you guys have any ideas or know how to fix the problem? Thank you

-Just to clarify there is a new BIOS update for my motherboard that came out 1 month ago. Maybe that can fix it?

Solution
Rather than be OCing with the BCLK might want to start individually and stick with the CPU multiplier for OC, when you get a stable OC on that, then invoke XMP and may need a slight VCCSA voltage increase. The BCLK OCs everything, including your DRAM, PCI-E lanes, etc and can cause stability issues
